JAMMU, Aug 28: Apni Party Provincial president Jammu and former minister Manjit Singh has extended full support to the Jammu Bandh call of Jammu Bar Association in support of their demands.
In a statement issued to the press, Manjit Singh said that Jammu Bar Association and CCI Jammu have always represented Jammu in a true sense without discrimination.
“Both these organizations have worked in Jammu’s interest and tomorrow’s Jammu Bandh call given by Jammu Bar Association is genuine in support of their demand i.e., to construct multi- storey building complex to house all tribunals, courts and commissions in the court complex at Janipur for the facility of general public and the advocates to avoid inconvenience,” he said.
He said that their demands should have been accepted by the Govt much before but nothing was done. “The aggitional path has been adopted by Jammu Bar as the authorities are not listening to the protesting advocates. It is not only the concern of Jammu Bar, but Jammu has faced discrimination at the hands of BJP with increasing unemployment, disparity with the daily wagers who are seeking regularization, aspirants of CRPF/BSF/Border Battalion and others. The Govt has turned blind eyes towards the suffering of Jammu and it is appropriate time for us to unite for the cause of Jammu,” he said, extending support to the Jammu Bar Association.
